To add style and comfort to your patio without taking up too much space, small outdoor furniture may be just what’s needed. From benches to chairs, there are many choices available that could work perfectly in your home.
Start using these simple techniques to help make your small patio seem bigger.
Multifunctional Pieces
When selecting outdoor patio furniture for a small space, look for pieces with multiple functions. Chairs that double as tables or ottomans that serve both seating and surfaces will help maximize space without making your patio appear cramped or cramped; smaller furniture is also more likely to blend in seamlessly rather than sticking out like sore thumbs.
To determine which size patio set will best meet your needs, first measure the dimensions of your space. Use those measurements to create a diagram that will assist in your furniture search; for instance if you have a 7×7 patio space your diagram should include sections for lounging and dining as well as space for table/chair set plus firepit.
Once you understand your space, take into account both your preferences and those of your guests when selecting pieces for your patio. For instance, if lounging is your primary use case for this area of outdoor living space, select lounge chairs or sofa sets which seat two comfortably while when entertaining with up to four guests it might be wise to opt for table and chair sets that accommodate more.
Before selecting pieces of small patio furniture to meet the size and scale requirements of your space, select durable materials that can withstand weather elements. Consider choosing pieces made of powder coated steel frames with rust free powder coating and commercial grade all weather hand woven PE rattan weave that offer long-term use without compromising style or comfort. This combination ensures years of long term enjoyment without compromise to either comfort or style.
Add finishing touches to create the ideal ambience in your small outdoor space, like decorating it with outdoor decor and accessories that coordinate. Displaying matching outdoor decor and accessories will tie everything together, turning it into the relaxing retreat you have been longing for. Add string lights that match the furniture theme along walkways for safe walking; and wall sconces with warm summery glows will further complete this transformation of space.
Hanging Furniture
Are You an Outdoor Enthusiast Who Enjoys Hosting Dinner Parties, Or Prefer Quiet Time with a Good Book? There is seating to meet every type of patio. Choose lounge furniture sets such as sofas and chaises; dining chairs that seat 2-4 people – ideal for small balconies or porches; as well as Adirondack chair options which offer comfort even in tight spaces!
Once you know how you plan to utilize your patio space, take measurements to gauge if it can accommodate the size and shape of seating and table you envision for it. If necessary, draw a scale diagram on grid paper as needed in order to plan out its layout. When that step has been taken care of, shop Jordan’s for outdoor furniture to complete your backyard sanctuary and bring Jordan’s experience into the mix!
Outdoor furniture comes in many styles and materials to complement the decor of any home, so you’re bound to find pieces that match. Metal outdoor furniture offers modern aesthetics with corrosion-resistant finishes; choose wood patio furniture for timeless charm; resin is another versatile choice that resists moisture while providing minimal upkeep needs.
Other popular outdoor patio furniture pieces include rattan chairs, swing seats and woven garden benches. Rattan furniture is known for being lightweight and easy to move around your deck or backyard, adding a sense of versatility while being decorated with cushions or pillows in various colors and patterns to suit any taste. Woven rattan pieces also add an earthy element that works well in natural-looking rustic settings.

Nesting Furniture
Even the smallest balcony can become an oasis with the right furniture. Look for pieces with multiple uses, like seating that serves multiple functions (e.g. a small sofa that doubles as both lounge chair and daybed). Furthermore, consider versatile side tables such as stools that double as tables or storage benches equipped with shelves to store patio accessories.
No matter the size or shape of your balcony space, affordable DIY projects can quickly make an impactful statement about who lives there. From flower arrangements and DIY planters to simple light installations and outdoor furniture – there’s sure to be something here that will turn it into the star attraction in any neighborhood.
Coordinating colors throughout your outdoor furniture is an easy and cost-effective way to unify a patio space. Look for chairs and loungers in shades similar to one another – this will create a uniformed appearance without much additional work! For added effect, weather-resistant rugs come in various styles that fit any style perfectly!
When furnishing a small balcony, opt for lightweight chairs that are easy to move around. This can help prevent the space from feeling cramped while encouraging conversation and relaxation. Furthermore, find stackable loungers so they can be stored away easily when not needed.
An inviting fireplace instantly elevates any small patio and becomes the focal point for gatherings. Fireplaces and firepits come in all budget ranges – so choose one that complements both your lifestyle and available space.
Add color and interest to a mundane balcony by decorating with floral arrangements. Choose flowers that thrive in your area’s climate to ensure their longevity and appearance are optimal. Additionally, consider decorating tables and stools with flowers as this can add warmth and interest instantly!
An easy and quick way to add character and vibrancy to any small patio is painting its floor. This can be done on any material from concrete to wood. When selecting your paint product and color combination, be sure to find one tailored specifically towards that material type as this can provide an inexpensive means of rejuvenating its look.
Mix and Match
Mixing furniture styles is a cost-effective way to elevate the patio without breaking the bank, and can create an individualistic aesthetic that speaks directly to you. Just be careful that any clashing designs don’t become disorganized and chaotic!
Select key pieces as the cornerstones for your design, then fill in with accent chairs or items not part of an overall furniture set – such as wicker lounge chairs to complement rattan sofa sets. Color or material contrast can help separate each style of furniture.
Make the most of your outdoor furniture by creating designated areas within your patio, with distinct functions for relaxing, dining and other purposes. An area rug can help define these zones easily; or use stairs as another design feature to subdivide the space into separate seating or dining zones.
Color blocking your outdoor furniture by choosing items in similar hues yet in different shades is known as tonal design and works great for both traditional and contemporary looks. Just be careful that too much of any one shade doesn’t overwhelm the piece!
Experimenting with textures can be an enjoyable way to unify a mix and match furniture arrangement. Combining smooth glass, metal and rough woods together can produce an eye-catching design, or add further textural contrast through rugs or hanging planters – creating both cohesion and interest for any given space.
